This Wednesday, the American dollar stabilized while the New Zealand dollar fell and the Indian rupee fell.

The U.S. dollar held steady on Wednesday as investors awaited Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's speech at the annual Jackson Hole Symposium later this week, looking for clues about the trajectory of monetary policy. The dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against a basket of six other currencies, was unchanged at 98.319, after reaching a one-week high of 98.441 earlier

The New Zealand dollar tumbled after the central bank cut its key rate by a quarter point to 3.0%, as expected, while indicating that its board of directors had also considered a half-point cut. The New Zealand dollar fell as much as 1.3% to 0.5815 dollars, its lowest level since 11 April, as the central bank lowered its forecast for the key rate floor to 2.55% from 2.85% anticipated in May

The Indian rupee fell on Wednesday as corporate hedging and short-term speculators supported demand for the greenback, much of which was met by dollar sales from foreign banks. The rupee settled at 87.0650 per US dollar from 86.9500 at the close on Tuesday, when it recorded its biggest rise in more than a month, boosted by speculation about peace talks between Russia and Ukraine
